Calculation of the anticipated Break-even point | |
Break-even sales volume p.m.(for after-tax target profit of $ 60000) | |
Price/box charged to stores | 4.2 |
Less: Variable costs/box | |
Raw material incl.packaging | 1.45 |
Production Labor | 0.5 |
Total variable costs /box | 1.95 |
Contribution/box (4.2-1.95) | 2.25 |
Fixed administrative expenses | 120000 |
Lease cost of mfg. facility(10000*12) | 120000 |
Total fixed costs p.a. | 240000 |
Target After-tax profit | 60000 |
so, Target Before-tax profit=(60000/(1-30%))*100% | 85714 |
So,Break-even sales boxes | |
(Fixed costs+Before-tax target profit)Contribution per unit | |
(240000+85714)/2.25= | 144762 |
boxes p.a. | |
Break-even sales volume p.m.= | 144762/12= |
boxes Per mth. | 12064 |
Breakeven sales $ p.a. | 144762*4.2= |
608000 | |
Breakeven sales $ p.m | 50667 |
Normal Break-even point(No Loss No gain) | |
The break-even sales units= Fixed costs/Contn.per unit | |
ie. 240000/2.25= | |
106667 boxes p.a. & 106667/12= 8889 boxes p.m. | |
is. $ 448001 p.a. OR $ 37334 p.m. | |
If she aims a target after-tax profit of $ 60000 , the target sales volume need to be 12064 boxes p.m.(ie.144762 boxes p.a.) at this price & variable and fixed costs. | |
She needs to aim sales at the break-even point (no loss no gain) initially , as that level itsef (8889 boxes p.m.) is some way to go ,and try to increase sales volume , by adopting more cost-effective marketing strategies. | |
